A House of Heroes

Butterknife Estates may sound impressive and posh, and you would be right!

Only the most qualified of individuals are invited to reside in this palace of apartments. Many candidates are turned down and many more never apply at all, presumably for fear they will not cut the mustard.

One of the most difficult tests is to become a hero. How does one do this? Simply beat Contra, with or without the extra-lives cheat code. At the end, as you copter away from the island you are given the assuring words of narration:

"Congratulations! You've destroyed the vile Red Falcon and saved the universe. Consider yourself a hero."

I do and always will, "Consider myself a hero."
